Who the Roosters will play twice this season

[Bahrain Rooster]

Who ever wins the comp will have every other supporter of the game saying there is an asterisk next to the Premiers in 2020.
Because it is a shorten comp its not a proper comp.
Say the Roosters dont win it this year but win it again next year playing the full length of the comp would that mean they completed the 3peat?

I think so, should we win in 2021 it will be a 3 peat.

Great. Less dud games. Who wants to play The Titans!?

If I had it my way we’d play Souths every week.

Yes.
3peat in a proper premiership...not what we have now.

Mate, i can't cop Parra but they are 'starting' on 4 points as they won their first 2 games, they weren't just handed a headstart. We are starting on 0 as we played like a pack of complacent weak carnts and key players looked way off in their execution and commitment. In saying that i love a punt and will be on us to win our first 2 games back by 13+ in a multi.

Got those 4 points by playing the Dogs and Titans, something we didn't have the chance to do.
Now look at their draw and our draw and tell me that's anything resembling fair.

And look at the Raiders draw!
And Manly's draw.

Why isn't it a proper premiership , everyone plays 20 games , we have a great chance and if we win there will be no axtrix for mine ,

[Bruce Pickett]

There will be no asterix for this year's premiers. No way.

We also get to play the dogs and titans, if we beat them is another thing.

you could also call this the fairest comp in history, no origin for players to miss games or get injured in, shortened season to benefit burnout, no crowd advantage to anybody, and everyone should be starting the comp fit and ready, except for Boyd.

not sure we'll get the full season, but hoping we do. i'm just glad we'll get to cheer on the rw&b. if they don't put a premiership up for grabs the games wouldn't mean much. maybe the comp will have some kind of asterisk about it but the footy will be fair dinkum.

It's not a proper premiership because:

It started off as one draw, 25 round comp...then stopped after 2 rounds.
Then that comp was cancelled.
A totally new comp and shortened draw then introduced, with points from the cancelled comp carried over.
Now this new draw...nothing like the old one.
Could now look like a handicap race to some fans.

I don't blame him!

What makes a 25 round comp a proper comp? with teams not playing each other twice, and a stop to the competition where all the best players from the top teams Play origin for 6weeks?

just because we have always done it like that does not make it fair.

this is one of the fairest comps in history.

Of course its proper , its just different , we win it ill count it

2 rounds old comp, 2 refs rules trained for. Some teams had home ground advantage.
Now new comp 1 ref and six agains as a package deal...."to save money"
And the new "Maybe a handicap race" draw...

Baaah!
.

[Bruce Pickett]

When is the draw?

[Frozen Chook]

When is the draw?

once they fix it

[Tommy Smith]

If I had it my way we’d play Souths every week.

Bingo.

The Titans are an absolute bore. And they're not alone.

I personally absolutely love the week leading up to a game vs the Rabbits, Broncos or Dragons.

Is this not what we love the Roosters for? The chills down the back of the neck when we play these scumbag rival teams?

Besides, Souffs and Saints are tracking along to be shit in 2020 so maybe it's not such a tough draw afterall.

So I for one think it's great that we get to rail Latrine twice and watch him have a sook on field as JWH shoves his fat head into the grass.
